    There is a gap the rest of the world never will be able to fill.

    They seriously need to do this like the Davis Cup. Shrink the "World Cup Final" into the best on best, the rest of the world goes into tiers and can be promoted and demoted.

    In comparison to FIFA, the IOC looks like a bastion of honest and prudent management.

    And it's completely wrong to do so.

    16-team World Group, then Group A, B, etc. Promotion-relegation.

    Today was an epic day in the WC quarter finals. Both matches went to PKs. Croatia beat Brazil. Argentina beat The Netherlands.
